Excerpt from Andersonville Prison Park: Report of Its Purchase and Improvement, Accompanied by a Plat of the Grounds, Made From Acutal Survey On the morning of July 26, Capt. Moore began the work of identifying the graves, painting and lettering head-boards, laying out walks, and enclosing the grounds, which are now known as Andersonville National Cemetery. Assistance was rendered by one company detailed from the Fourth U. S. Cavalry and one from the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh, U. S. Colored Troops, established at Macon. The dead were found buried in trenches on a site selected by the Confederates, about six hundred yards west of north of the stockade. The trenches varied in length from fifty to one hundred and fifty yards. The bodies in the trenches were from two to three feet below the surface, and, in some instances, but a few inches, where rains had washed away the earth. Additional earth was thrown upon the graves, sufficient to properly cover them, and continuous mounds were made over each as it laid in the original trenches. So closely had the uncoffined and emaciated remains been buried, that each grave occupied but little over twelve inches in width, and, consequently, the small tablets, provided by the Government, measuring ten inches in width, nearly touched each other. The prisoners at Andersonville had been detailed to aid in burying their dead companions, and, by a stake at the head of each grave, which bore a number corresponding with a similar numbered name upon the Andersonville Hospital Record, kept by the Confederates, Capt. Moore was enabled to identify and mark the greater portion of them by neat wooden tablets. It is a satisfaction to know that reasonable assurance can be placed upon the correct identity of those thus marked. The number thus properly identified by Capt. Moore and his competent assistants, with name, rank, regiment, company and date of death, was twelve thousand, four hundred and sixty-one (12,461), there being but four hundred and fifty-one (451) that bore the sad inscription, "Unknown." One hundred and twenty thousand feet of pine lumber was used in the construction of these tablets, which have since been replaced by neat marble head stones, similar to those now in use in all of the National Cemeteries.
